TUMBLR BLOG ASSIGNMENT # 4

This posting will be based on the book The Wonderful Future That Never Was. Chapter 1 is devoted to visions of future cities as predicted during various years (1928, 1924, etc.) in the magazine Popular Mechanics. Chapter 2 is devoted to visions (from 1922, 1956, etc.) of the future American household. Pick one of the dates/predictions listed in either of these chapters, and find a contemporary image of a modern city or a modern household that either confirms the prediction, or proves it a poor prediction. Your image must be from a publication or online journal. Tell us a little about your image. Do you think such comparisons (X was predicted in this year, and look, it has come true! Or it has not come true!) tell us anything interesting or useful about the history of science and technology?
